Dave Boswell of Victoria, and now a student at Mt. A., was the runner in question and in racing to his victory he defeated St Francis Xavier star Jim McDon- ald. a runner who was being groomed for the Canadian cham- pionships later in the summer. It was McDonald's first defeat in the half mile event and Boswell chalked up his fast time despite a cold day iind a prevailing high wind.

During the years when track and field events were a dead is- sueyhcre other Island boys st- tending college were coming through with smart performances that were usually overlooked or had no attention paid to them. but now with the new athletic field coming up—and fast-it is likely that these same boys. along with others will take full advant- age of its facilities and once a- gain bring Island track and field athletics to the fore.

Four other bouts will complete the card.

The coming boxing program has caught the fancy of the fans to no small degree. Outstanding per- formers such as Pyle, Whynott.

Johnny Greco made no mistake against Danny Webb the other night. His second-round knock- out will send his crltics scurrying to cover. He proved that he can hit and should have no trouble getting Madison Square Garden booking again. Johnny simply overwhelmed Webb. who looked small in comparison to the stock- lly-built Welter champion.

The crowd proved disappointing for the fight had all the earmarks of a good one that would probably go the route. Greco went out for an early knockout and achieved it in masterly fashion.

CHICAGO. May 20 —(A:P)—As far as Chicago Cubs are concerned, Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson has a lot to learn about big league hitting and first-basing.

In five games against Bruins. the fleet Negro star has dented their pitching for one hit in 19 trips-a feeble .053 percentage.

"We call pitches against Robin- son just as we doany other hit- ters." said catcher Clyde Mc- Cullough, “but he is having a lot of trouble with our breaking stuff. He lungeg and slaps at tihe boll. so we keep him 0n the hook most of the tltfnc."

Naturally, the Cubs didn't offer Ellly batting suggestions to a play- er belonging to their hated rivals, "Deni Bums." but they all had a hint for Robinson afield:

“Keep your tagging foot off the middle of the bag."

The Cubs said that Robinson, during Brooklyn's two-game stand here Sunday and yesterday, i001: infield throws with his foot plopped squarely in the centre of first base.

"I realize Robinson is new at the position and is iQflffrillg as he goes," said cetrcileider Andy Pafko, "but I nearly nicked tum once because his foot was on the bag.

"The runner has the right of way going over first and Robinson can avoid a possible spiking if he keeps this foot on the side of the sack."

Robinson played second base for Montreal in the International Lea- gue last season. lie was brought 1111 to Brooklyn this year.

Robinson, who currently 1.; bat- ting .276 for (rho season. collected his sole hit against the Cubs, a double, at Brooklyn where the Dod- gers took tiwo out of three from Chicago two weeks ago.

Victoria Boy Winner 0f llalf Mile Race
